Moxie OT has been honored to be a part of this study providing Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in the home. Paired VNS has been found to increase upper limb recovery after stroke. The preliminary data from this study finds that is is also effective when provided in the comfort of your home!

What would happen if we had a new medication that improved health status, improved quality of life, lowered healthcare utilization, had virtually no negative side effects, and was low cost? The answer is abundantly clear; this medication would fly off the shelves to anyone that could get it. We’d see it widely accepted and used within the medical model of our current healthcare system.

While I wish I could say it was as simple as a pill, for now we are limited to our sheer ability to hack the human brain, and maximize our potential. Whether you have experienced a life changing medical event or chronic illness, or are simply looking for ways to improve your quality of life, self-efficacy will serve as the foundation of meeting your goals. It is the basis of change within a person, and the most important part of becoming the best, most ideal version of yourself.

In the simplest of terms, self-efficacy theory states that when someone truly believes they can do something, they most likely can. If you'd like to learn more about how self-efficacy theory can help you achieve your goals, check out our latest blog post from our guest blogger Lindsey Friker, OTDS!

OT is so much more than working on self care skills! This week we worked on community integration with a trip to the zoo. It was so fun and there were many uneven surfaces and other obstacles to navigate. What have you been working on this week?

New Year goals don’t have to be big—they have to be meaningful. Occupational therapy meets you where you are, in any setting, and builds goals around what matters most in your daily life. That’s the Moxie OT approach.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring commitment to justice, dignity, and inclusion. His vision reminds us that meaningful participation in daily life is a right—not a privilege. In occupational therapy, we continue this work by supporting access, autonomy, and opportunities for all.
